| Beethoven by far my favourite. I listen to the usual others too: Bach, Mozart, Haydn, Schubert, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Bruckner, Richard Strauss, Rachmaninov, Bartok, Prokofiev, Stravinsky, Shostakovich. Have a hard time with atonal music. Barely watch any opera because I cannot sympathise with the ch... |

| I remember music wholly sequentially and exactly (maybe perfect pitch helps?). Even if it is vocal music I will remember not the words but the melodies and the various instrumental parts. I can play through whole symphonies in my head with all the instrumental parts intact. I love listening to a sym... |

I feel profoundly paranoid and self-conscious when I have to travel through it on the tube...but then that could just be the tube :roll: Sod it the underground is one of London's few achievements ... |

| Guilt and shame are completely appropriate. Suicide is rather selfish. A suicidal person thinks about their pain alone, and thinks nothing about the others that love him/her that they leave behind. If you kill yourself, that will hurt the the people that you love dearly. If you don't think there is... |

| I'm not aiming high. Currently at a 2 year college, might transfer to a not-so-selective school like North Park. Though my aunt would -very- much want me to go to University of Chicago, but I don't have the money, and don't have many amazing things to say about myself. Sure, I'm a little young to b... |

| I have the same problem with class discussions. But I usually don't find that other people say particularly intelligent things either, and digressions are common. What's the problem with having a completely different opinion from everyone else? If anything, that should help enliven the discussion - ... |

| Thanks to Heisenberg, there isn't an answer for how fast electrons move. Physicists/chemists don't talk about velocity because at the quantum level, what matters is energy and angular momentum and wavelength. |

| When writing an academic paper, I agonize to even approach the length requirement. I don't know why that is because I feel I have explained the matter in depth and included all relevant information. Same here. I sometimes get penalised for not explaining my point enough. It always seems obvious to ... |

| Happens quite frequently to me. Usually when I'm reading a book or when I'm engrossed in some math problem. I'll tell myself "after this chapter", but when the chapter does end I would have forgotten that I was supposed to stop, and when I next remember I'm in the middle of the next chapter. I also ... |
